    Electrical tape won't break down in his stomach, so it will be very hard to digest and pass. That's why he has a tummy ache. He might need help getting this tape out of his system. It's best to see a vet about this. It would be dangerous to wait around and hope he passes it on his own. It's best to go to the vet now. Later will likely end up costing you more money, or you could lose your dog.

    Good luck, and I hope it all works out. In the future, keep the electrical tape out of reach. Dogs are notorious for eating things they shouldn't. Mine ate a barbie today, I'm still looking for Ken's head, and Barbie is now single. ;)

    I hope this pup has gone to the vet.
